Sometimes with RC cars you want plastic parts. They tend to flex and go right back to where they were. While metal parts would bend and stay that way. Good parts only really break if you run into something REALLY hard. Like a street light or curb. Try not to do that as RC cars can get rather expensive.

Ive got an older hpi drift car, you can even drift on solid carpet, hpi's have a lot of customizable abilites too, i reccomend them

I have been playing Motorstorm R/C for a few days now (PSN : die-1098, add me if you want) and there's a DRIFT class of car. You don't really have to do much, just accelerate and turn sharply. Does it work like that in real life too?? In a true drift car you need to play with the clutch, the handbrake and so to drift... but you don't usually have all that in a R/C controller...
